[quote=Anonymous]It’s largely genetic. Some people have the hips bend in a way that makes breaststroke more efficient (faster), but overall: their bodies just know what to do for swim and they have a similar body type. Here are some examples: Kids who don’t swim anything but summer or varsity in HS and are still incredibly fast. Typically taller, slender, narrow hips, long fingers, etc. Kids who are on club team but swim a few of days a week and then go to a meet and equal or best kids who swim 9+ times a week. Just because it’s largely genetic doesn’t mean that coaching does nothing. Coaching can help. Hard work can help. But kids who have a genetic leg up, are much better swimmers and I often think it’s great they found a sport that fits them so well. [/quote]
